Materials are included in tuition. In this class, students will chose one of several different stained glass patterns (sized 9x14 or 9x16) to create from start to finish. Under Heidi's guidance, students will learn about the different types of glass, and then execute the steps to create a piece themselves including: Scoring, Grinding, Copper Foiling, Patina, Framing and Polishing the finished product. The final piece is beautifully framed and sure to become a family heirloom.
